Question: If someone has been arrested for a hand gun being fired by accident and causes damage to a neighbors home how long can you be detained by law enforcement before being charged? The hand gun was clear of bodies, legal and no other charges, it appears the police are LOOKING for something else.

Answer: I don't understand the question. The police arrested the someone for what crime (possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, discharge of a firearm within city limits, reckless conduct)? The police did not take the someone in the police car to the jail, and then him/her there to determine what the charges should be. The police don't need to look for anything else, they have reckless conduct. If the neighbor says the gun was discharged on purpose, then they have terroristic acts. If the neighbor says the gun was pointed at them, then they have aggravated assault. However, you have no idea what the neighbor told the police.
